Chapter 402: Political art (1/2)
With the beginning of the anti-Semitic movement, the atmosphere on the European continent has become increasingly depressed, and anti-Semitic activities in various countries have continued to emerge.
This is just the people. The high-level government's concern is not anti-Semitic, but that the tsarist government has taken the opportunity to escape the financial crisis. With money, the Russian Empire can be called an empire.
In the Royal Palace of Berlin, William I said he was panicking. However, William I was able to become the ”Emperor William”, and the city was naturally indispensable. My heart was panicking, but my face was under control.
The king's calmness reassured the Berlin government. They are not alone in this war, and the supporters behind them have a lot of help. As long as there are big men behind the scenes who are willing to invest more, they are not without chance.
At the behest of William I, Foreign Minister Mike Kate said: ”Through our diplomatic efforts, the Swedes have already moved.
As long as we have another big victory in next year's war, they are likely to be on our side.
Now that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working to publicize the Ottoman Empire, both London and Paris have given clear answers that they will push the Ottoman Empire into the war.
The British also promised to cause trouble for the Russians in Central Asia and the Far East.
We are still lobbying the British Parliament to have the Royal Navy blockade the Baltic Sea and sever Russian shipping routes.
... ”
It sounds good, but in fact, understanding it from the perspective of workplace slang is almost the truth.
The Swede was moved, but it was just ordinary Swedish people, and King Carl XV was still a little bit involved in the war.
Of course, if the Kingdom of Prussia won the Russian Empire, the Swedish government wouldn't mind participating in the downfall.
”Efforts to publicize the Ottoman Empire”, in other words: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done its best but has not achieved any results.
It is true that Britain and France are pushing the Ottomans into the war, but the Sudanese government is still stagnant and continues to watch the situation.
”British promises” are always farting, just let it go, don't have too much hope, this war still depends on Prussian.
”Lobbying the British Parliament” is a century-old project. I don't know when parliamentarians will pass the proposal.
To sum it up: Our allies are many. As long as the military wins the Russians on the battlefield, these allies will come up to help divide the loot.
The elite of the Kingdom of Prussia were able to appear at the meeting, and naturally understood the meaning behind it, but everyone tacitly chose to act stupid.
What if the top people are not confident of winning? Whether it's for comfort or to let go, morale can't be dissipated.
Secretary of the Army and Navy Ron said: ”It is not anxious to win over Sweden and Ottoman. As long as we continue to win, they will join in sooner or later.
The only way for the Royal to block the Baltic Sea must be immediate. Only by cutting off the maritime transport corridors of the Russians can we have a chance. ”
Rather than wooing allies to share the pressure, cutting off the Russians' sea transportation channels is the most likely way to achieve it. The British have always stood firm in the fight against the Russians.
The maritime transportation channel was cut off, and even if the Tsarist government had money, it would be difficult to obtain sufficient strategic materials.
By land transport, Russian transport will be Prussia's best ally, limiting the number of troops in the Tsarist government.
The total railway mileage of the Russian Empire in this era was more than 3,000 kilometers. Spain, the German Federation, and Prussia all had more than them.
The Russians had more than 70,000 kilometers of railroads during World War I, and they were unable to support the needs of millions of troops on the front lines, let alone now.
The Junker aristocrats dared to challenge the Russians, only to see that the Russians had limited power. If the Tsarist government can invest millions of troops on the front line, no country in the world except France and Austria can withstand it.
”This will take time. The British are still hesitating. They are worried about the blockade of the Baltic Sea ...”
Ron interrupted politely: ”No matter what happens, the Russians will cut off the maritime transport line one day earlier, and we will have one more chance to win in the war next year.
The British have been slow to move, or are the capitalists wanting to make war money? Anything to say, the Russians placed the order and we ate it all.
Showdown directly with the London government, if they want us to win the war, immediately block the Baltic Sea.
If they don't want us to win this war, anyway, we won't win the Russians if we fight alone, we might as well accept the Russians and compromise.
The big deal was to sell the Poles, restore the pre-war borders, and lose to the Russians. Let the British love what they love. ”
Ron was fearless. The Kingdom of Prussia had already owed the British hundreds of millions of pounds of debt, and they could only afford to win the war.
If the war is lost, the existence of the Kingdom of Prussia is a question. Who should I ask for money?
If the British do not want to invest in all the water, then cutting off the Russians' maritime transport lines is the only option.
Europe's political system determines that these people dare to gamble. Winning further, losing is still the rich side.
”Just do it!”
William I made a decisive decision, and the gambler was at the table. If you want to look ahead and look back, it is better to give up early. War is not a child's play, every victory is very important.
...
In London, the Prime Minister John Russell found it embarrassing that they were tied to the Prussians without knowing it.
Originally, they were only preparing to fight a proxy war, but over time, they invested more and more power.
In particular, after the East Prussian War, they sold another 30 million pounds of war bonds for the Berlin government, and now the total debt of the British and Prussian countries has exceeded 100 million pounds.
The debt holders are mostly ordinary people. If you don't want to lose the next election, it is better not to make this debt a bad debt.
Although the Prussians mortgaged tariffs, railways, and mines, if the Prussian kingdom no longer exists, can these collaterals be cashed?
